The Howling
December 14

Office

I was captivated by the moon as I left the office yesterday evening.
The thin clouds added an atmosphere that was interesting and erie.
I searched for trees to add an earthly connection, but none looked
quite right. I finally found a cluster of dried seed heads on some
Sedum and took two exposures to combine for a cleaner silhouette.

Another David Clunas inspiration...

Wonderful and haunting!!! I like the use of the sedum for the foreground seems just the right touch.--Rene

Richard Calmes		18-Dec-2005 16:16
Very nice!

Bob Floyd		18-Dec-2005 15:21
As a general rule I am not a fan of composite shots but I really like this one. It really sticks with you.

Oh that's so funny Scott, I also posted a moon image tonight. It was captivating!

Dale Unruh		15-Dec-2005 02:31
I was so scared I forgot to say...Nice job!! Great moon, a lot of work, and, I'm locking my doors right now!!

Dale Unruh		15-Dec-2005 02:27
"I seen it!...I seen it! It sometimes comes out on the night of the full "Scotts Moon"!! It was big, and hairy, and smelled real bad!...It... was...The Swamp Thang!!"

Dan Chusid		15-Dec-2005 02:03
I feel the urge to suddenly howl... ;^O

scott clarke		15-Dec-2005 01:11
Yes excellent.Love the color of sky at the bottom just above the tree line..Regards Scott.

Guest		15-Dec-2005 01:05
Moody and beautiful shot.

Guest		15-Dec-2005 00:41
Nice moon shot -

laine82		14-Dec-2005 23:58
Good work Steve...very Hitcock-ish !!

Guest		14-Dec-2005 23:23
Great shot. I can already hear the wolves coming. Well done.

cliffwright		14-Dec-2005 22:13
Very nice end result! I like the size of the moon in this shot and the clarity of the detail in the moon ... Well done! :)

shatterbug		14-Dec-2005 21:59
A tremendously moody image! Great job on the processing! V.

Coleen Perilloux Landry		14-Dec-2005 21:16
Very lovely image. I tried to get the moon last night with the huge ring around it but failed.

Guest		14-Dec-2005 21:15
The Howling... very dodgy werewolf film from the 80's? I remember being scared witless! The black, almost molten looking undergrowth and that eerie grey sky make for a perfect setting for this title. Well done :)

Naomi		14-Dec-2005 20:40
I photographed the moon last night, too, but mine looks very different. This is lovely, indeed.

Guest		14-Dec-2005 20:32
Nicely done Scott, I'd not have figured out the tree silhouettes were in fact sedum!

Focus		14-Dec-2005 20:21
WOW........this is beautiful!!!

Sharon Rogers		14-Dec-2005 20:06
ooooo yes, love the atmosphere!! v>

jypsee		14-Dec-2005 20:04
Excellent work; creative and clever.

Faye White		14-Dec-2005 19:49
excellent - the howling indeed! the brief touch of color at the horizon is perfect to draw the eye through the image.

Johnny JAG		14-Dec-2005 19:47
Great shot

David Clunas		14-Dec-2005 19:46
This is great! Wonderful atmosphere, I especially like the earthy tone just above the silhouette -v-

Guest		14-Dec-2005 19:41
Vote beautiful, Scott

carol j. phipps		14-Dec-2005 19:28
Fantastic Howling photo. Whew! You combined the pics well. Wonderful composition.

Guest		14-Dec-2005 19:12
Great image and a perfect title - aaaaaaooooooooh! Vote

Al Chesworth		14-Dec-2005 19:12
Makes a very pleasing picture, nicely done.

Guest		14-Dec-2005 18:55
Amazing thats Sedum..looks like a wood of oak tree tops! A haunting,daunting yet warming image because of the light glow from a nearby town maybe. An image worthy of getting your knees dirty to capture it! :) V

Fantastic. I am 85% happy with my camera, but if I were to get a new one it would be to attempt shots like this. This is very nice.
